Hi all - I'm a little new here, but here goes. I'm a student in FL, getting ready to graduate in December. I'm faced with the daunting task of applying to the BON with a criminal record. Here's the worst of it: drugs. Now, here are the circumstances.

This is a charge that I plead 'no contest' to 18 years ago, at the age of 18.

Adjudication of guilt was withheld.

The record has since been sealed (NOT expunged) by the courts.

I have about 10 letters of recommendation from faculty, clinical supervisors, and the dean of my CON.

I'm a straight A student, board member of FNSA, etc.

Someone with experience in this matter, please tell me, what are my chances?

Thanks to any / all who reply.
